W: One moment, please…Ok, we’ve got a nonstop flight leaving Kennedy at 9:25.M: Well, when should I get to the airport, then?W: Try to be there by 8:15.M: All right. One single ticket; first class, please.Text 2W: Hello.M: Hi, Jessie. Where are you? Are you at home?W: No, I’m in a taxi. I just went shopping with my mom. I’ll be there in about ten minutes.

But for today, let’s make some noodles, ok?M: Well, in that case, I’ll have whatever you’re having.Text 4M: Hi, Carol. Are you ready to start our project about keeping pets?W: Yes, John. What kind of pets should we focus on?M: Tom and I are thinking of a cat or a dog. Which do you prefer?W: Well, I don’t know much about either of them. What about fish?M: That’s a good idea. I’ll ask Tom to help you do the survey.W: Sure. What else should we discuss, John?M: I think we should make some cards so we don’t forget what we are saying during the presentation.W: Sounds great, but I hate speaking in public, so I’d prefer not to do the introduction.M: I don’t mind at all.

Two weeks on the beach.W: Actually, I’m not going to the beaches. They are too crowded this time of year, so I’m going camping in the jungle instead.M: That sounds different.

Tim seems to be leaving. I’ve got to talk to him.M: Bye.Text 7Good morning. Today, I’d like to talk about how to become a confident speaker. Confidence, as we all know, is a very important element in learning to speak English. How can you sound more confident when you speak English? First, speak often. The more often you speak, the easier it becomes. Try to think of people you can talk to in English or places where English is spoken a lot. You need to put yourself in a position where you need to speak. Second, relax and think about the message. It’s easy to get nervous if you only focus on the grammar rules when you are speaking. The key to relaxing when you are speaking is to talk about something that you find interesting. Third, practice what you want to say. If you are nervous, try to practice what you want to say to yourself a few times. It can make you more confident. Ok, that’s all for today. Goodbye.参考答案：1-5 BACCA 6-10 BBCCB 11-15 CBCAA16.

Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.While there is no widely accepted definition of MOOCs, their key features are open access：they are currently free to participants, no entry qualifications are required, they support an unlimited number of participants and as yet, very few include any form of accreditation (认证).Currently offered by some famous universities, MOOCs are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education, or who do not have formal qualifications. They also allow participants to study at their own pace.The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vast—they could be considered as a huge step forwards in widening participation. They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses, they may attract some participants to register for formal fee-paying programmes at the same or other universities and are likely to promote new ways of on-line education.However, it is still very early days for MOOCs. The quality of the education provision is highly variable, with many courses offering only recordings of lectures, and delivery is particularly difficult in some special fields that require practical classes, research projects or extensive library access. Besides, wider engagement with participants requires very considerable resource. Even limited feedback or examination becomes a major task if there are several thousand students in the class.Considering the challenges, some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate (蒸发). But they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education, are a means of raising awareness of universities to audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands, and are well worthy of serious consideration.

First let's deal with the importance of exercise. Many people today live a kind of lazy life, sitting in the office all day and then watching TV the whole evening. I'm sure you don't need me to tell you this way of life is bad for your health. In fact it can lead to all kinds of health problems like heart disease, high blood pressure and some of the problems can result in death. Now let me talk a little about preventing illness. Probably the most important thing to bear in mind is to be active. This does not mean that you have to go out and play sports. Of course sports are an excellent way to stay healthy but it's also important to remember that healthy activities can take many different forms like gardening and doing housework, for example. Now let mesuggest some ways of doing exercise. In the first place, you should choose an activity that you enjoy and one you'll stick with and thenstart exercising slowly and try to increase the amount of exercise step by step. Well, that's all I have time for today, so until next time.

Tim seems to be leaving. I've got to talk to him.M: Goodbye.Mini talkGood morning. Today I'd like to talk about how to become a confident speaker.Confidence, as we all know, is a very important element in learning to speak English. How can you sound more confident when you speak English?First, speak often. The more often you speak, the easier it becomes. Try to think of people you can talk to in English or places where English is spoken a lot. You need to put yourself in a position where you need to speak. Second, relax and think about the message. It’s easy to get nervous if you only focus on the grammar rules when you're speaking. The key to relaxing when you are speaking is to talk about something that you find interesting. Third, practice what you want to say. If you are nervous, try to practice what you want to say toyourself a few times. It can make you more confident.Okay, that's all for today. Goodbye.。
